Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Turks protest German parliament's call to examine role in killing of Armenians

    AP Worldstream; Jun 17, 2005

    Some 150 members of a Turkish trade union protested the German
    parliament's call on Turkey to examine its role in the killing of an
    estimated 1 million Armenians a century ago.

    The protesters, members of a civil servants union, also scuffled
    with police for about 10 minutes outside the German Embassy after a
    plainclothes policeman removed and broke a black wreath the protesters
    left at the embassy gate.

    They dispersed peacefully after the wreath was returned to the gate.

    Earlier, the protesters shouted: "Fascist Germany," "Racist Germany"
    and "Germany, don't test our patience" as some 100 police officers
    stood guard.

    German lawmakers on Thursday adopted a resolution asking the government
    to press Turkey to investigate the "organized expulsion and destruction
    of the Armenians" and foster reconciliation.

    Armenia accuses Turkey of genocide in the killings as part of a
    1915-23 campaign to force Armenians out of eastern Anatolia.

    Turkey denies that the killings were genocide and says the death
    count is inflated and that Armenians were killed or displaced along
    with others as the Ottoman Empire tried to quell civil unrest.

    The German legislature's resolution angered Turkish authorities.

    The Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday that it was
    "biased, contained serious errors and lacked information," and that
    its approval would "deeply wound the Turkish people." Prime Minister
    Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the decision "wrong" and "ugly."

    A relatively peaceful protest. Lets give a round of applause to Turks for that one. This is very new for them. It is called freedom of speech, freedom of expression. Furthermore it is important that they are practicing the human ability to not let ones anger cause him/her to slaughter innocent human beings - yay turkey!!! Welcome to what us humans call the PROTEST...
